Throwing in the towel

I'm not quitting the blog, if that's what you were thinking. I just got this stuffed package from the Junior Junkie and had to show off the contents. Starting with this towel card.

It's not often you see a card where a guy has a towel over his shoulder, but this 1988 Fleer gem of Charlie Hough features just such a picture. The Junkie included the entire Texas Rangers 1988 Fleer team set. If you didn't see his post about going to the post office and spending nearly $180 on shipping, just go here.

Like last night's post, I picked up another of those 2015 Topps Original Stamp cards. This one is a Doyle Alexander, one of my favorite 1970's Rangers. I always thought he looked like he would fit in with the gunfight at the OK Corral.

Here's a horrible picture of a Rafael Palmeiro Piece of the Action Bat Card. I do like his uniform number cut into the bat sliver. Or table leg, whichever it might be.

There was a big stack of cards to choose from, but my favorite of the bunch was this 2004 Topps Finest Michael Young refractor. So shiny and fun.
